A 5-RBI performance from Botan Wada, who was drafted in the 2nd round of the 1971 draft, helped the Nagasaki Stars beat the Kobe Bulls, 13-4. Nagasaki is 43-37 and Kobe, with the loss, 48-33.

Tatsuhiko Ueda had a big 3-run home run for the Stars in the bottom of the first inning. With Nagasaki trailing 2-0 and runners on 1st and 3rd, he got a changeup from Yoshimatsu Yamamura, who finished 3rd in the WL in ERA with 2.46 last year, and swatted a home run to right. It was his 14th home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Stars ahead, 3-2.

"We did more than enough to get the win," said Ueda.
